Pumpkin-Nut Bread(Cook's Country) image

Be sure to buy unsweetened canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which is preseasoned and sweetened. This is a fairly stiff batter that takes a bit of stirring to incorporate the liquid ingredients into the dry. Stop mixing as soon as the batter comes together.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1 cup sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (1 stick)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped coarse
1 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil spray.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger together in a large bowl. Whisk the pumpkin, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a separate bowl until frothy.
  • Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in the nuts and cranberries (if using). The batter will be very thick.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding onto a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
